Avoid Plastic Disposables&nbsp;<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you know that one plastic grocery bag takes 10-20 years to break down? Try bringing your own reusable bag the next time you go grocery shopping.&nbsp;When&nbsp;you work out or go on a picnic in the park, fill up your own reusable water bottle.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Volunteer to Clean Up&nbsp;<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Volunteering to clean up is one of the easiest things you can do to help our planet! Head over to your local park, beach, or alongside roads and pick up some waste (with gloves of course!) Even better, create a clean-up event with your friends and family!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.budsies.com\/blog\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5234 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.budsies.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/pexels-akil-mazumder-1072824.jpg\" alt=\"happy earth day\" width=\"330\" height=\"220\"><\/a>3. Plant Trees<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This one might go without saying, but planting trees is a great way to help improve our environment. Planting a tree is an easy way to remove the carbon dioxide from our atmosphere, and a great way to counteract deforestation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Recycle What You Can<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes it may be necessary to use disposable plastic water bottles or bags. When you do, make sure that you recycle them properly. The same goes for paper materials, glass, metals, and batteries. You can learn more about how to properly recycle <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wm.com\/us\/en\/recycle-right\/recycling-101\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a><\/span>.

Devices that are left plugged in, even while turned off, still consume power. Though it is a negligible amount, it adds up over time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.
